In 1978 my wife and I came to Lichtenberg, Northern Bavaria, by chance for the first time. We were close to the zone border with the former GDR. All roads came to a dead end. Very strange. But the Frankenwald turned out to be so beautiful that we kept coming back. Now that zone border is gone and everything is normal. 20 years ago we bought the house "Fuchswechsel". Space in and around the house, wonderful location on the edge of a stream valley. Beautiful unobstructed view of farmlands and the mountain town of Lichtenberg. To enjoy!
